I don't know what it is about these little turds. I see all these nice cars rolling around and I have zero desire to get behind the wheel of any of them.

I know a lot of the members from this community have grown out of Saturns which is completely understandable. I guess for me it's become so much more then just cheap reliable transportation. I love how unique Saturn was as a company and how wonderful the S-Series was for its time.

Even today so many of them are still on the road. I see them everywhere.

So today I appreciated my Saturn and all that I've learned because of my time here and the community we have. I have made a lot of great friends because of these little cars and this forum.

In the process of decontaminating the Vue's interior, but there's food crumb and skin particles everywhere.
Compressed air helped make things easier, but I still need to tackle removing stains from the suede on the passenger seat.

Sat here another day dreaming of the day I have time to start working on my car. So I work on the new house day after day after day. Maybe when I get this done I might get a chance to remove a valve cover or something. It's really depressing not being able to make any progress!

Don't get me wrong. I love having a house, but it's a fixer uper. 20+years of updates that need to be done. Me being a contractor and a cheap ass I do almost every thing myself. I made a little money off my last house but still haven't gotten my project off the ground. I see it everyday and wish I could go start tearing it apart.

I am a couple do days late... I worked on the saturn last sunday. I have had an issue with the brake pedal not coming back the last very bit so the the brake lights would stay on and the pads would drag a little unless I pulled the pedal back with my toe.
Long story short, I had to get under the dash and adjust the rob between the booster and the pedal. Once that was done I had to readjust he other side of the booster that goes into the master cylinder.
The I reinstalled the hood. The hood was off since it overheated a moth or so back.
Finally worked on the honda mower. It had not had its oil changed since I bought it back in 2011 and the oil was starting to get dark, so I got to do that. Honda makes it really easy. Just put it up on some blocks, tip it over and then remove the dipstick.

Yeah currently in philly I pay 1100 for a 3br with a small car garage. When I buy the new house I'll be paying 6-700. With everything included insurance and all the extras. New house is also 3 bedroom but with an attached lot instead of the small garage. Just need to save more cash. 4 children definitely not cheap to raise haha.

Also currently working on diagnosing scraping noise along with a right side braking bias on my wife vibe gt.

Exactly! Mortgage is cheaper than rent, and you have freedom to do more of what you want!

At the risk of going way off topic:

700 includes taxes and insurance?

My mortgage, with taxes and insurance is around $720. When you factor in all the other home ownership costs, its easily $1000+. Then factor in the time value of money. The $30k or so I put down when I moved in would've earned me $25,250 in the market by now.

Put it this way, if someone is renting you that for $1100/month, they are likely losing money or just barely braking even, and they have to deal with house bullshit while you don't.

I feel like if people only broke even renting then why do so many people own rental properties?

Some of them make good money. In many cases they simply don't know any better. A good rule of thumb is the 2% rule, if you pay cash. Mortgaged, you can probably drop to 1.5% and make decent money. That is, your monthly rent is 2% of your property value. http://www.123flip.com/education/the-2-rule/

Its amazing the number of landlords I've talked to about their cash flow and they seem to have no idea what it should be. They simply say "well, it pays more than my mortgage, so I'm making money".

My mom is one of those people. Has a $350k condo on the lake she rents out for a pathetically small amount of money. I keep telling her the market will pay 3-4x that amount, and she doesn't have to take HOA, taxes, etc. out of the cut. Worse yet, she paid cash for it I'm like "Mom, stop wasting my inheritance!"
